Los Flamingos - Estepona districts

Los Flamingos is often regarded as the northernmost area of eastern Estepona, located on the boundary between the municipalities of Estepona and Benahavís, between the Arroyo de Brijan to the west and the Arroyo del Saladillo to the east. Set within a lush, hilly landscape, the area enjoys panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding mountains. It is a prestigious, gated community best known for its three championship golf courses, luxury residential developments, and the iconic Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Hotel.

RESIDENTIAL

Los Flamingos is an upmarket residential community offering a diverse mix of high-end properties, with distinctive Tuscan Cypress trees lining the streets. The area is particularly renowned for its luxury detached villas, which are considered the hallmark of Los Flamingos. These homes offer refined living with private swimming pools, landscaped gardens and, in many cases, frontline or elevated views over the golf courses. More>

HOTEL AND RESORT

The Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort, formerly known as the Villa Padierna Palace Hotel, is a five-star luxury resort that sits at the heart of the Los Flamingos community. Construction began in 2003, and the resort was designed in a striking neoclassical style, featuring opulent interiors and beautifully landscaped gardens that have since made it the architectural centrepiece of the area.
